I have become an unpaid advocate for the thing. Just mention it and I will tell you much more than you want to know about it. Zeta and M have one, too. When various family members came to visit earlier this year, they saw what it could do and they bought one when they got home.
I got an email from that family recently which detailed how much money they are saving. It is gratifying to see their enthusiasm.
I mentioned, to them, something about the steamer inserts that I use to hold the sealed bags off the bottom of pots of water when reheating or thawing/warming. They wanted to know what kind. Below is what I sent them.
Aren't they pretty?

Nice. I too use the steamer for broclie. Hopefully, they will remember to add water to the pot. When I was cooking a large family dinner, the H20 part of cooking slipped my mind. Ops.
As far as kitchen implements go, these are lovely. They'd also make great helmets, shields and masks - if you're into pretend fighting instead. :)
I remember someone whose favorite kitchen items were a potato, a spoon, and a pie pan. No swords and helmets, at that time.
Funny, I don't recall a potato.
The spoon and the pan, I can see. They're basic toys for an imagination to run with...drums and ... uh, drums... I guess as one gets older, the imagination shrinks down?
The spoon was a fairly large serving spoon and this anonymous person used it to corral and lift the potato from the pie pan to the floor and back again. It was a self administered hand/eye coordination exercise with the stifled giggles of the watchers as accompaniment.
It was so cute. I was about six and I can still see it in my mind's eye. What focus!
